| car bay rental with lifts?
I remember awhile ago there was a place, I think New West, there was a warehouse that has some lefts equipped that rents out for you to work on your car.. Is this place still around?
If not, is there another place, maybe in richmond?

^^ As far as I remember it was too much of a liability.
UFixIt was the place in New Westminster if you want to see if it's still open IIRC.

Anyone find another place to rent a hoist for a few hours? I used to go to UfixIt all the time before they closed down...

The guys who ran u-fix it, now part cars out of that location.
Sometimes I really miss my old shop I used to frequent in Calgary, U-Wrench. They even had tools on hand if you needed to borrow some (air lines, and impact wrenches and every tool you could think of). There was also bathrooms and vending machines if you got hungry (not that I used them, but nice to know if you need a sugar fix).
On the other side of the building, they had a full body shop where you could replace panels, do bodywork etc.
Since then I rely on my cheap mechanic for my e30. The price he charges makes it hard to justify doing it myself!
